Apparently retaliation for the UK asking similar questions of Russians seeking UK visas, not to mention the UK version of Magnitsky laws which enable the seizure of the UK assets of the Russian officials involved.

I just did an Indian e-visa application and they also went for the “list countries visited in last ten years” question, but only allow you to fill in approx 8 countries. I counted up over 40, but no space available.

And social media accounts - seriously... luckily my mum doesn’t do that stuff.

I did mine in October for a 12 month Russian visa. I only entered the countries with stamps in the passport, and previous Russian visits, and a couple of random EU visits.

As you say, the new questions seem to be retaliation for the UK asking these questions to Russian citizens. They don't ask Schengen country passport holders the same questions. And they only charge €70 for a 1 year multi entry to Schengen citizens, for UK passport holders it ends up minimum £500...

The Trump administration has said it wants to start collecting the social media history of nearly everyone seeking a visa to enter the US.
The proposal, which comes from the state department, would require most visa applicants to give details of their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
They would have to disclose all social media identities used in the past five years.
